Here, E played C, the front half of the F ♯ key played D, and the (less accessible) rear half played F ♯. The front half of the G ♯ key played E, and the rear half played G ♯. As with the short octave, the key labeled E played the lowest note C. Thus, playing the nominal sequence E F ♯ (front) G ♯ (front) F F ♯ (back) G G ♯ (back) A
Saville was born Philip Saffer on 28 October 1927 at Marylebone, London (in later life he gave his birth year as 1930, a date repeated in all his obituaries), [5] son of Louis Saffer (who later assumed the anglicized form of the family name, "Saville", chosen by his father, Joseph Saffer, a master tailor), a travelling salesman for a clothing company, and Sadie Kathleen (known as "Kay"), née ...
"Cirrus Minor" has an unusual chord sequence: E minor, E flat augmented, G major, C♯ minor 7, C major 7, C minor 7 and B 7. The chords are built around the chromatically descending bass line. The B 7, C major 7 and G major chords are the only chords which fit into the functional context of the E minor key.
A contrafact is a musical composition built using the chord progression of a pre-existing song, but with a new melody and arrangement.

It does not accurately represent the chord progressions of all the songs it depicts. It was originally written in D major (thus the progression being D major, A major, B minor, G major) and performed live in the key of E major (thus using the chords E major, B major, C♯ minor, and A major). The song was subsequently published on YouTube. [9]
The song is musically notable for its unusual use of modulation. The overall key of the song is E major; however, the bridge to the chorus is in F major. The second bridge back to the verse is in the key of G major (Chords B minor to G major, "She was glad about it...") [citation needed]
Major/minor compositions are musical compositions that begin in a major key and end in a minor key (generally the parallel minor), specifying the keynote (as C major/minor). This is a very unusual form in tonal music, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] although examples became more common in the nineteenth century. [ 3 ]
